Why Smriti Mandhana and Palash Muchhal wedding is on hold
Their wedding — originally planned for 23 November 2025 — has been postponed indefinitely. The reason given by families is a sudden medical emergency involving Smriti’s father. While he has since been discharged and is stable, no new date for the wedding has been announced. The postponement has triggered widespread speculation and social media attention.
Past resurfaces: who is Birva Shah and why is she in news?
Birwa Shah is the former girlfriend of Palash Muchhal. Photos and reports from 2017, showing his proposal to her, have resurfaced online. Those images — showing a knee-down proposal — have gone viral again after the wedding postponement, intensifying public scrutiny. The resurfaced visuals have fueled rumours about possible infidelity and contributed to the drama surrounding the current situation.
Other rumours: Mary D'Costa mention and social media stir
Alongside the resurfaced photos with Birva Shah, some now-circulating chat screenshots allegedly involve Mary D'Costa, suggested to have some link to the controversy. However, nothing has been confirmed publicly about her involvement. Meanwhile, other social-media reactions have added to the murkiness — including deletion of pre-wedding posts, speculation over feuds and followers unfollowing on Instagram.
